Higher Education for Women

In this era, there are still some parents who reluctant about sending their daughter to
college. The narrow attitude shown to women’s education is largely due to the
traditional role of women in society. A woman is expected to be a wife and a mother.
Most parents believe that if their daughter gets married and chooses to be a
housewife, then the higher education will be a waste. However, an educated woman
is not only a better wife but also contributes something to the society.

Nowadays, more and more women are successfully combining their career and
marriage. Educated women are richer both emotionally and financially. They are able
to find and outlet for their monotonous drudgery of their housekeeping. They bring
more satisfaction and contentment to their lives.

Depriving girls of higher education is crass discrimination. Times have changed;

modern society needs the talents of its people regardless of gender. Today, women
work alongside men. In fact, in the last few decades women have made outstanding
contributions to society.

Women should be given the freedom to be educated whether or not they get married
or to work after finishing their education, because it is only through education that a
woman will find herself useful and discover that she wants in life . A woman who
works not an insult to her husband. Conversely, her husband should feel proud of her
achievements since . marriage is actually an equal partnership

Being on time is a beautiful social ethic and one of great importance, as it creates
efficiency in systems and implies respect for one another. However, it is one the
many values that is not easy for our students to learn.

Inner discipline, one that comes from an understanding of the set rules and
regulations, is the highest from of the behaviour. Most exellent schools try to instill
this with a loving environment. Why, even adults arrive late to meetings, work, etc.
Here, we do not agree that late comers should be shut out. They can be given
warnings, most of which are enough to make them try their best to reach the school
on time later. If this fails, invite their parents to school.

By closing the gates, the school is behaving cruelly, to which we prefer not to expose
our children. Every school has a responsibility to implant good educational principle,
but it should be in appropriate ways. Good schools create competitive students who
can organize themselves effectively in society, so that everyone gets a quality life as a
result of ethics and values learned for as long as 12 years.

children are precious and dependent on the adults for guidance. Understanding them
is the key, and to this end, both parents and schools must work hand in hand without
playing the blame game.

1. What should the school do if a student can't stop his/her habit to come late to

school?

A. Punish him/her

B. Shut him/her out

C. Fail him/her

D. Talk to his/her parents

E. Try to understand him/her

Answer : D
Pertanyaan “What should the School do if a student can 't stop his/her habit to
came late to school?" menanyakan (Apa yang seharusnya sekolah Iakukan
jika murid tidak dapat menghentikan kebiasaannya datang telat ke sekolah?)
Perhatikan kalimat berikut "They can be given warnings, most of which are
enough to make them try their best to reach the school on time later
(Muridmurid dapat diberikan peringatan, yang cukup untuk membuat murid
mencoba untuk tiba ke sekolah tepat waktu di kemudian hari). "If this fails,
invite their parents to school" (Jika peningatan itu gagal, mengundang
orangtua mereka ke sekolah). Maka, pilihan yang tepat adalah Talk to his her
parents.
2. What does the writer think to be "the highest from of behavior" (in the second

paragraph)?

A. Respect for one another

B. Not being late to school

C. Understanding the regulations

D. Understanding the rules

E. Inner discipline

Answer : E

Pertanyaan “What does the writer think to be the highest form of behaviour?"
menanyakan (Apa yang penulis pikirkan untuk menjadi bentuk tingkah laku
yang tertinggi?) Pada kalimat “Inner discipline, one that comes from an
understanding of the set rules and regulations, is the highest form of
behaviouR?" Menjelaskan disiplin dari dalam diri, satu bentuk disiplin dapat
datang dan pemahaman aturan dan regulasi. Jadi, penulis berpikir bahwa the
highest form of behaviour adalah Inner discipline .

3. "Children are precioug and dependent on the adults for guidance" The underlined

word is closest in meaning to . . . . .

A. Valuable

B. Excellent

C. Clever

D. Innocent

E. Naive

Answer : A

Kata "precious" memiliki arti yang sama dengan "valuable" yaitu (berharga).
Sedangkan arti dari pilihan yang lain adalah:) excellent (baik sekali), clever
(pandai) , innocent (tidak bersalah) , naive (naif) Jadi, kata yang mendekati
makna precious adalah Valuable.

Paskitan’s houbara bird facing extinction

The indiscriminate hunting of endangered houbara bustard birds in Pakistan by rich

hunting parties from the Gulf nations have pushed the species toward extinction. The
hunting was initially banned by the Pakistani courts, but under continuous pressure
from the provincial governments of Sind, Baluchistan, and Punjab, as well as the
federal government, recently the courts lifted the ban on the hunting of this
vulnerable species.

Some people in Pakistan have been advocating for sustainable hunting of the species
instead of a complete ban, but this is highly debatable. Reckless hunting for decades
has pushed this beautiful species toward extinction and it is now critically endangered
in Pakistan.

No reliable or credible statistics on the population dynamics of the species are

available either. Unless specially protected by the law, the species runs the risk of
becoming extinct in the wild in the next few decades.

Under these circumstances, they only logical approach to save the species from
extinction in the not-so-distant future is to immediately start comprehensive captive
breeding program for the species across the nation.

If the captive breeding program runs successfully and produces an appreciable

number of chicks. then reintroduction programs could be initiated in their wild
habitats.only after rebuilding population for some time in the wild and allowing them
to breed naturally to reach a sustainable population could some restricted hunting be
planned. Currently, the low numbers have made this species vulnerable and with zero
or poor monitoring, sustainable hunting practices in Pakistan for this dwindling
species will not work.

Game hunting works only when a stable population is achieved with strict monitoring
on the ratio of males to females hunted per season. If the females (no true statistics
available) are being taken out of the population through random hunting, the
population is sure to pass through a bottleneck in the wild habitat, with high
vulnerability to eventual extinction.

The people of Pakistan need to decide what is more important-a few petrodollars or
protecting the biodiversity of the nation.

principal about what you have done to them, and surely, you will be in a very, very
big trouble.

Finally, bullying can result in very serious consequences. Maybe it is done for fun,

Land Reclamation

Land reclamation will definitely increase land area for a certain country. More land
has been made available for development. More buildings and infrastructure can be
built.

However, much greenery has been removed in order forthe land needed. Land
reclamation can be damaging to corals and marine life. Corals are usually move to
another place when land is to be reclaimed. The corals might not be able to survive in
that certain habitat, and thus die out. In some countries, where the project is large
scale, they do not even bother to re plant the corals elsewhere, instead just reclaim the
land on their habitat, causing them to die out immediately. Marine life, such as fish,
might not have enough food after the underwater plantations are destroyed due to
reclamation of land. This applies to the food chain. The water might also be polluted
from the soil used to reclaim land, causing the fish to die and blocking out sunlight,
depriving the underwater plants of growth. Marine habitat are also destroyed;
therefore, the marine creatures would be forced to move to another new habitat. Some
might not be able to adapt, and thus die out. Some would just die without even
finding a new habitat, as they cannot move long distances in water.

Finally, the reasons and examples look tempting to humans, but marine life is life
too! We should try to protect it as much as possible, instead ofjust focusing on the
advantages.

1. causing them to die out immediately.” (paragraph 2) The underlined word refer
to...
A. underwater plantations
B. large scale projects
C. marine creatures
D. greenery
E. corals

Answer : E

”In some countries, where the project is large scale, they do not even bother to re
plant the corals elsewhere, insteadjust reclaim the land on their habitat, causing them
to die out immediately.”artinya “Di beberapa negara, dimana proyeknya berskala
besar, mereka bahkan tidak menanam kembali terumbu karangnya dimanapun,justru
mereka hanya mereklamasi Iahan habitat mereka, yang menyebabkan mereka mati
seketika." mereka (yang dicetak tebal) dalam kalimat ini maksudnya adalah terumbu
karang (corals).
